Just something that I've always wanted to bring up, but always hesitated
to do because I don't know if it's really worthwhile:
I often find myself using xsl:for-each for no other purpose than merely
setting the context, e.g., in order to call a named template or to
simplify a set of XPath expressions.
I do this fairly often, usually for the second reason you give, and
because it is basically a way of saying "hold on, I'm just going over to
that part of the tree to do something, back in a few ticks"
I would be very happy if I could make my intentions clearer by using a
real XSLT construct in this situation, such as *<xsl:with
select="...">*.
<xsl:hold-my-beer>
The proposed name comes from my first computer language, Pascal.
Mine doesn't :-)
